I am 50, married and have struggles with same sex attraction. I've struggled for years and have had times of victory and freedom, but then other times of bondage and defeat. I have a difficult time as I am alone in this in that my wife does not know of my struggle, which limits what I can do as far as getting help. I've been turned off by those who say "you have to tell your wife" as no one else knows my situation or anything about my struggle, so I'm especially looking for someone who is sensitive to where I am right now in this.

Any encouragement and support would be appreciated, if you want to drop me a private message.

Hi Holdingon -

Welcome to the forums. I appreciate your honesty. I have a married friend with kids who has a similar struggle as yours so I understand where you're coming from. It's not easy to know who you can safely share your struggles with. Have you been walking this road alone all of your life?

teetop: Well Amymine712, it has been years since I looked up some measures congress passed a very long time ago. President Kennedy just before he was assassinated in one of his very last speeches he warned the American People just about that type of power.Apr 20, 2020 20:15:19 GMT -7

savedbygrace: We are in a very unusual circumstance. Lockdown probably not the most accurate word. Both our state governors as well as the federal government have restricted behoviors that would have caused many more people to die. Apr 21, 2020 6:31:04 GMT -7

teetop: that though the death toll seems high, I would suggest you look at the numbers a little closer. Take note as to how many are dying with complications from something else. And secondly, the death toll is nowhere near the number incurred in 1918, [/bMay 14, 2020 16:25:54 GMT -7
